Biography
Back When was formed in January 2002, in Omaha, Nebraska. The band
has gone through a few lineup changes and musical changes in their
existence, and are now more comfortable than they ever have been.
Back When's previous releases have been filled with chaotic guitars and
blast beats mixed with dual vocals, but the band has evolved into
playing heavier epic songs, bringing together influences from Neurosis
and Radiohead to folk and country. After several US tours and 5
releases, the band is more confident and comfortable than ever, having
just released the full length "WE SANG AS GHOSTS" on Shockvalue Records.
In November of 2005, original bass player, Justin Thompson, and Back
When parted ways. Justin's contribution to Back When helped make it what
it is today and the other members thank him from the bottom of their
collective hearts. Chris Kelley joined up, taking over bass duties and
currently the band is writing new material in preparation for their next
full length record, as well as a 7".
Back When recently returned home from a two week eastern U.S. tour with
good friends DIVIDER. Expect to see them out on the road again in the
coming months.
